Probabilistic Verification of Structures with Respect to Durability

Abstract:

General principles on probabilistic approach to structural verification with respect to durability are provided in the international standard ISO 13823 which is currently being implemented into the system of Czech standards. The operational use of the new procedures in practice would require specification of probabilistic durability criteria, physical models of material deteriorations, and theoretical models of basic variables. It appears that the probabilistic methods of optimisation may provide valuable background information facilitating determination of appropriate criteria for durability.
